Funny thing is DC said he wouldn’t use free agents. We didn’t need O’Brien and could have used that money to get someone else in.
Didn't need O'Brien ? We only had two strikers and everyone was crying out for him to sign another, and poo-pooed his attempts to sign another midfielder because we had lots of them. Persuading O,Brien to leave Sunderland on a short-term contract only on less money was quite a an achievement.
The striker who isn’t a striker though according to DC? He’s an 8.34 who can play 7.39 role if required I believe. Personally I see him more in the 8.97 role myself.
